I just recently ditch Veronica for Lilly. Not that Veronica was no help, but it felt like an upgrade to travel with a 10 foot tall nightkin mutant who sounds like they've smoked 8 packs of marlboro's a day. Besides, my chances with Veronica were going no where. But as they say it is better to have loved and lost than to not have scored with a BOS hottie at all. (or something like that).

Anyways, nearly right off the bat Lilly attacks with her/it's melee and the next thing i know her BF sword is skewered by her assault rifle when placed on her back.

A few attacks later all heck broke lose. now the melee weapon is attached to the end of some invisible axis which protrudes in front on Lilly's body. And when she attacks, only the assault rifle is grabbed (like a club) from the back and the sword swings about on this imaginary line.

It's annoying and hard to ignore. I hoped that a fast travel or entering a building would "fix" this blemish but no luck. I haven't been back on since this event (which was last night) so i don't know if its corrected itself yet.

Anyone else see anything like this with the Lilly companion?

I had the same issue. Veronica was bugged and would no longer follow, so Lily seemed a suitable replacement. Graphically, I could deal with the whacked out blade issue. The real problem came when I went into the bunker beneath The Fort toadvance multiple quests. When exiting, Lily disappears into the stairs. When returning to Caesar, I am not allowed back into hs tent because I need to enter without companions. No Lily, to to her to stay put and cannot advance the quest line. Back to previous save. I am very disappointed that the beta version of this game was released.

Thanks for the heads up. I (and obviously many other) couldn't agree more with this being a flat beta version.
